Welcome to IRISE!

Pioneer Pathways Program (P3)

P3 has a specific goal to nurture the strengths of academically successful incoming students from historically underrepresented communities and prepare them to pursue additional academic degrees, such as a Masters or Doctorate. The program supports IRISE’s mission to develop students who are underrepresented in various fields where an advanced degree is required as a condition of employment. In connection to DU’s commitment to Inclusive Excellence and Diversity, P3 is aimed to provide students with impactful research opportunities, social and cultural support, meaningful mentorship, and personal growth.

The Roger Salters Summer Doctoral Institute

Entering it's third year, the Salters Summer Doctoral Institute is a two-day program designed to encourage doctoral students from historically marginalized groups and women to pursue faculty and administrative positions in academia. The Salters Institute provides doctoral students with insights, information, and words of wisdom from faculty and administrators who have spent their careers navigating the racialized and gendered reality of academe.

Named after the distinguished Dr. Roger Salters, the institute continues his work by engaging doctoral students from historically marginalized populations with the opportunity to engage with current faculty of color regarding the ins and outs of becoming a faculty member.
